Psalms 57:8

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.

My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

“So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!

Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”

‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’

The princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

It will happen that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem,

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Armies is his name.

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.

Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.

“You shall make tunics for Aaron’s sons. You shall make sashes for them. You shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

“After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet! Praise him with harp and lyre!

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.

“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.

Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’

Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth: say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.

Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.

Isn’t the food cut off before our eyes; joy and gladness from the house of our God?

Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.”

They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to Yahweh’s house.

with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
